I am really shocked by this. "But a top associate of Mr Shekarau who pleaded anonymity told this newspaper that the defection plan was not initiated by the senator but the Northern elite" These people are one in the Northern region seriously

While Malam was trying to manage the internal rift, then Northern elders started calling him to come and join.

We are shocked to read this morning the futile attempt by the office of the outgoing First Lady to cover up the irresponsible conduct of her escort who beat up a truck driver at Owode, leading to public angry reactions against her entire convoy.

According to eye witness accounts, yesterday was Owode Ede market day and the road was expectedly crowded. A truck had developed fault right at the middle of the road with the driver making efforts to get it to work. That was the point the First Lady's convoy arrived the scene and instead of helping to clear the traffic hold up , the security operatives around the First Lady pounced on the truck driver, beating him to a state of stupor.

Realising the outcome of their criminal misadventure, the operatives rushed the driver to the hospital after the former had slumped. It was at this point that people around the market angrily reacted, pelting the convoy with stones and others.

Eye witness account further revealed that as at the time the convoy was attacked, the angry crowd were not even aware of who was in the convoy until reinforcement was sent to the scene from Government House with sporadic shootings.

We have gone this far with the details of the incident to strongly deny allegations that PDP thugs were responsible for the self-inflicted attacks on the convoy of the First Lady.

As a party, we have no Asiri Eniba or Rashid Oko Ilu as the First Lady's family actively nurtured before, during and after the election. PDP is a people's party whose members will never harass and molest innocent citizens whose only crime was pursuing their daily needs under an economy recklessly battered by the First Lady's party.

We call on the First Lady to apologise to the truck driver who was inhumanely treated. It is not enough to rush him to the hospital. The First Lady should atone for the sins of his overzealous escorts unless she was responsible for the directive to beat up the innocent driver.

Instead of blaming the PDP, we call on officials of the outgoing government to be mindful of their interface with the people of Osun state. Our people have been badly governed with harsh economic pains under a clearly inhuman administration.

It is unacceptable and reprehensible for a First Lady and her team to assault a citizen and turned round to blame the opposition.

The EFCC Chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa, in an interview with This Day newspaper last June said the presidential candidate of the APC, Bola Tinubu, is under investigation over assets declaration.

Mr Tinubu’s source of wealth has been the subject of controversies with many Nigerians calling for his investigation.

Although the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, denied any plan to investigate Mr Tinubu, a copy of a letter from the EFCC to the Code of Conduct Bureau demanding copies of Mr Tinubu’s asset disclosure form had circulated on social media.

According to The Peoples Gazette, an online news medium that broke the news, the letter dated 6 November, 2020, was signed by the then Lagos zonal head, Mr Bawa, who is now the Chairman of the EFCC.

Mr Tinubu has been accused of having interest in Alpha Beta Consulting and diverting Lagos State cash through the company.

In a 40-page document submitted to a Lagos high court in 2020, Dapo Apara, a former managing director of the company, accused Mr Tinubu and Akin Doherty, a former commissioner in Lagos, of money laundering, fraud, tax evasion, and several other corrupt practices.

Deji Adeyanju, the convener of Concerned Nigerians, on 25 October, 2019, had also petitioned the EFCC to probe Mr Tinubu about the source of money delivered in bullion vans to his Ikoyi home on the eve of the 2019 presidential election.

The EFCC had over the years dismissed media questioning regarding Mr Adeyanju’s petition against Mr Tinubu’s.

Youths and supporters of Tinubu from the North-Central zone on Friday, protested against the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the All Progressives Congress.

They requested that the APC’s presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, drop Alhaji Kashim Shettima as his running mate, as he would be an obstacle to his victory in the 2023 general election. The protesters carried banners with inscriptions conveying their demands.

abiodunalabama:
if Tinubu was Igbo man would u criticize him?

Peter Obi's miscreants and stupidityyyyy, inseparable.

Jagabanofafrica:
Where are the yorubas,contnue deceiving urself, those are Kwankwaso people.... dont you see their red cap.

omenka:
Imagine a human creating a thread such as this. A human who would want the world to believe they ain't got several screws loose upstairs. And they didn't just stop at creating the thread, they're hoping it'd be moved to the fp.

I think being unnecessarily silly should constitute a violation on this forum, punishable by a lengthy ban.

But what does one expect from a people as clanish as the Zulus of old SA, with an entitlement only comparable to pre World War II Germans? A people who are being led by the nose by some ultra-deranged
Looney, who thinks the president is dead and has been supplanted by a clone.

It's an understatement to say it's a hopeless situation in that zone.

Tenses:
That day Mr. Peter Obi stood his ground against donating to Mbaka's church that day I knew is a man of integrity and character.

PrinceWhite5:
Northern Youths reject Tinubu. In a viral video, the Governor of Borno State Prof Zulum was seen telling the youths to vote for Tinubu. Their response was shocking “Bamusu” (we don't want him) according to a Twitter user.

Prof Zulum telling youths in Bornu to vote for Tinubu and they told him "Bamuso" (we don't want him)

They even cursed his father "Uba nka" 😂😂😂😂

Now this is my generation; we know what we want

The rejection of Atiku and Tinubu by Nigerians will be televised! pic.twitter.com/bXAyCNO0WF

The spokesman of NEF, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, stated this on Tuesday while featuring on Trust TV, noting that Buhari was unprepared since he was elected into office and he had only thought his charisma would solve the country’s challenges.

The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has said it is evident that the abysmal performance of President Muhammadu Buhari since he came in 2015 shows he was not prepared to lead the country.

The spokesman of NEF, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, stated this on Tuesday while featuring on Trust TV, noting that Buhari was unprepared since he was elected into office and he had only thought his charisma would solve the country’s challenges.

Baba-Ahmed said, “I think the problem was that nobody really understood that President Buhari thought his becoming president was enough to solve problems. He believed that once he was president of Nigeria the rest was going to be detailed. He didn’t come prepared to govern."

NEF spokesman revealed that Buhari had thought that people would fear him and do what he says since he doesn’t steal people’s money.

“Quite possibly, Buhari would have thought people would fear him, people would do what he says, he doesn’t steal people’s money; there would be no corruption. He doesn’t take nonsense, so there would be no insecurity.

“It wasn’t difficult to see that preparation wasn’t necessarily the key to action. President Buhari wasn’t prepared to govern when he came to office. He wasn’t prepared to hit the ground. It took him more than months before he appointed ministers.

“And when he did, he appointed people that were close to him, people he felt personally comfortable with and those are the same people still in the office. I think the number of ministers that have left his cabinet from 2015 to now is just a few.”

The opposition against the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has refused to abate despite the claim by the leadership of the party that it has opened discussions with aggrieved chieftains.

Some youths on Friday who claimed to be members of the party in the North Central zone staged protests in Abuja against the single faith ticket.

Operating under the platform, North Central Progressives Youth (NCPY), they demanded the removal of two-term Borno governor, Kashim Shettima as the Vice- Presidential candidate to the APC presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Convener of the group, Comrade Musa Attah who addressed journalists at Unity Fountain before he led a procession to the Presidential Villa claimed that a single faith ticket was a threat to the legacies of President Muhammadu Buhari.

He said: “Mr President, on numerous occasions you have promised to bequeath a democratic system imbued with workable institutional structures that will stand the test of time. True to your word, the nation’s electoral system has been revolutionised.”

“Mr President, your footprints will never be forgotten in the area of infrastructure. The fact that there’s still a country called Nigeria is due to your resilience despite the mirage of security challenges. We are also coping with the global economic crisis. Meanwhile, the trial of the suspended Accountant-General of the Federation and many others have proven your zero tolerance for corruption. There are no sacred cows.

“Yet your biggest legacy will be your successor. Whoever takes over from you will either consolidate on some of these gains achieved in the last seven years or dissuade them all. As a progressive nation, we wouldn’t want the latter. And that is why we are beckoning on you to call the ruling All Progressives Congress to order as regards its presidential candidates.”

Attah who maintained that the NCPY has nothing against the aspiration of Bola Tinubu faulted his choice of a fellow Muslim as running mate.

The group further claimed that the same faith ticket was against provisions of the Nigerian Constitution.

“Tinubu’s alliance with Shettima may just be his undoing. In the face of unprecedented disunity, the same faith ticket is a disregard for the country’s fragility and would further polarize the nation. Sections 14 and 15 of the Constitution talk about Federal Character. The question is, does the choice of a Muslim-Muslim ticket fit into that Federal Character? As they say in law, you can’t come to equity without clean hands. He who wants equity must do equity. Is there equity in that Muslim-Muslim choice?

“The rejection of the same faith ticket should not be seen as Christian objection but a protest by every Nigerian in favour of democracy which guarantees freedom of choice, freedom of expression, and freedom of worship. Nigeria is a secular state. Our forefathers were aware of this even before they designed the Constitution. And in making these choices, we must be sensitive to the sensibilities of the people. It shouldn’t be lorded over the people, to whom the power belongs.

“A Muslim-Muslim presidency would mean a sectional national ideology to replace the liberty upon which Nigeria was established as a country. With Shettima, the APC is implying that Christians in the North are of no consequence in the scheme of things. We have a huge Christian population in the North-East and North-West. In the northcentral, the Christians are dominant. This is why Shettima must vacate this position.”

don't lose your mind over what's not . You need to maintain your sanity.

Realist12:
They should first ask how Obi has turned around the fortune of Anambra. A lot of Anambrians are still trooping to Ibadan leaving the state the so called messiah governed.

in your tiny sense . You still can't see Obi doing all of these is due to his unpreparedness before now . All he's chasing clout for Tinubu has gotten it with planning and hardwork . It will take more than 3 elections before Obi makes a name for himself nationwide. You think the noise on social media means he's popular even BBN reaches 1m tweets a day something while Obi hasn't made more than 100k . Obi isn't Tinubu's opposition rather Atiku his boss is.
